Selection of Interim Chair (Action)

Since Gregory is now employed by SLAC, he can no longer act
as Chair. Gregory nominated Eli Rosenberg as interim Chair, and Bruce seconded.
All were in favor.

SLUO Executive Committee Vote

There are over 130 votes for the new membership, to replace
departing members Ray Cowan, Yury Kolomensky, Eli Rosenberg, and Gabriella
Sciolla.

Election Procedures (Action)

Gregory moved that the Executive Committee formally agree
to the procedures for the election currently being conducted, as previously
agreed upon in e-mail discussions within the Committee, including the setting of
the deadline for votes to be this Friday

by 11:59pm Pacific time. Abi seconded; all were in favor.

Vote Counting (Action)

In the absence of Olga, Gregory moved that two independent
SLUO Exec members do vote counts: Ray Cowan and David Lange. Lance seconded; all
in favor.

Voting Eligibility

Ray had a question about the eligibility of a former SLAC
employee who is still active in research to participate in the SLUO Executive
Committee election. Gregory read the following excerpt from the Charter:

B. Structure

1.Individual Membership: Individual membership in SLUO is open to

all scientists and engineers
involved in research and development at SLAC. [Ö]

In view of this language, the Executive Committee agreed
without objection that this individual is qualified to vote in the election.

Washington D.C. Subcommittee

Abi proposed that Steve Sekula be added to the Washington
D.C. Visit Subcommittee as a non-SLUO Exec member. Sasha seconded; all in favor.

Energy and Water Appropriations Bill

There has been a rather urgent letter sent out by the APS
urging members to send letters advocating for restoration of funding in the FY
2007 budget. The draft of this budget will be finalized in February. Abi will
contact BaBar PIís urging them to bring this to the attention of their groups.

Date of Next SLUO Executive Committee Meeting

A nominal date of January 20 has been proposed, contingent
on the availability of the new members. Existing members are encouraged to send
their availability for Fridays in January to Eli.
